The EPA no longer exists. Its actions yesterday were an act of appeasement for the oil and gas industry, the very sector itโ€™s meant to oversee.

POTUS doesnโ€™t care about your health or your childโ€™s health.

Society will bear the costs of this selfishness.

It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to
plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees. The government suggests โ€” with minimal explanation and even less evidence โ€” that doing so would result in "chaos." The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights. 14
At this preliminary stage, Plaintiffs have made a clear showing of likelihood of
success on their Fifth Amendment claim.

Oh PLEASE. Slotkin asks a clean, obvious question and Lyons gives a flat, rehearsed denial with no evidence, no detail, no curiosity. โ€œWe do not do thatโ€ isnโ€™t an answer, itโ€™s a dodge. If agents are saying it out loud, someone trained them. This isnโ€™t confusion โ€” itโ€™s institutional denial.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MARK KELLY,
Plaintiff,
Civil Case No. 26-81 (RJL)
V.
PETE HEGSETH, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2]
United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and
policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement
rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these
issues.
Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military
servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental
obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary
Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over
the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!

decisions are exempt from judicial review and, in any event, that Senator Kelly should first
be required to go through the military appeals process so the military can have the first
crack at adjudicating his First Amendment rights. I disagree. This Court has all it needs
to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms
and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees. After all, as Bob Dylan famously said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." To say the least, our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our
Constitution demands they receive it!
Senator Kelly's First Amendment claim is not only justiciable; he is likely to
succeed on the merits. He has also shown irreparable harm, and the balance of the equities
fall decidedly in his favor. As such, his motion for a preliminary injunction on his First
Amendment claim is hereby GRANTED.
